AN ARMLESS MAN,

Recently there died at Potsdam,
n. Y, wonderful man. An ac-
cident deprived him of both arms,
which were amputated at the
shoulder. lie earn living by using
his feet and his mouth instead of his
arms. We are told that he owned a
horse, of which he took the entire
care; harness it, fastened and UNI
fastened the buckles with his teeth
and drove with the reins tied around
his shoulders. Being in need of a
wagon, he bought wheels and axles
and built box bugg, complete and
painted it. He went to the barn
one winter day and built COW
stable, saving the timber with his
feet and with the hammer in one
foot and holding the nail with the
other, he nailed the boards on as
well as most men could do with
their hands. He dug well twelve
feet deep on a farm in the town,
and stoned it himself. lie could
move away hay by holding the fork
under his chin and letting it rest
against his shoulder. He could dig
up potatoes in the field as fast as a
man could pick them. He would
dress himself, get his meals, write
his letters, and in fact do almost
anything that any man with two
hands could do. Many man with
all his physical faculties unimpaired
mourns because he cannot get along,
and yet this armless brother made
himself independent without arms oil
hands. He was like the Crimear
hero who, when his lower limbs
were shot away, wrote to the woman
he was engaged to marry releasing
her. She answered: Il will marry
you if you have enough body re-
naming to contain your noble soul. .

SOLOMON'S JUDGMENT IN CHINA.

Two women came before a man
DARN in China, runs an ancient
Chinese chronicle, each of them
protesting that she was the mother
of little child they had brought
with them. They were Of eager and
so positive that the mandarin was
sorely puzzled. He retired to con-
suit with his wife, who was a wise
and. clever woman, whose opinion
was held in great repute in the
neighborhood.
She requested five minutes in
which to deliberate. At the end of
that time she spoke:
''Lct the servants catch me large
fish in the river, and let it be brought
me here alive"
This was done.
"Bring me now the infant" she
said, "but leave the woman in the
outer chamber.
This was done, too. Then the
mandarin's wife caused the baby to
be undressed, and its clothes put on
the large fish.
"Carry the creature outside now,
and throw it into the river in the
right of the two women"
The servant obeyed her orders,
finging the fish into the water, where
it rolled about and struggled, dis
guised, no doubt, by the wrapping
in which it was swaddled.
Without q moments pause one of
the mothers threw herself into the
river with a shrek. She must save
her drowning child.
"Without doubt she is the true
mother" she declared; and the
mandarin's wife commanded that
she should be rescued and the child
given to her.
"Without doubt she is the true
mother" she declared, and the
mandarin nodded his head, and
thought his wife the wisest woman
in the Flower Kingdom. Meantime
the false mother crept away. She
was found out in her imposture and
the mandarin's wife forgot all about
her in the occupation of dressing
the little baby in the best silk she
could find in her wardrobe. rs. F.

LOSING GROUND.

"The bill-posting business is
diving by slow stages" said the
manager of a down town concern
to a reporter for the Matt and Ee-
press. ~ remember when it was
a most profitable occupation. In
those days every fence throughout
the city and country held the card
of the bill-poster. Frequently he
was arrested for Dissertation of pro-
perty and occasionally punished by
imprisonment. But now it is sell
dom that you SEGA bill-poster plying
his trade, for the reason that only a
few are employed as against the
hundred or more five years ago.
"The chief cause in the decline of
the business is that the newspaper
rate for advertisements are such
that few business men care TO have
huge posters printed and posted
about. Not only would they be
obliged to pay for the cost of print
ing, but they would also have to ex-
pend money to have it circulated
and set up against the innumerable
fences and walls around the city.
Another reason for the failure in the
business is that advertisers now find
it more advantageous to have a
space on the fences that surround
unfinished buildings. The rent is
small and the cost of hiring paint
er will be only trifle more. Still
another thing has assisted in the de-
struction of our business. Travel
around the city on the four branches
of the elevated railroad and you will
be surprised at the advertisements
in white and black paint on house
tops and chimney. Paint has taken
the place of paste and paper in this
country = IN. y. Mail and Express.

A QUEER LAND TITLE.

A friend Of mine, Hngh Craig, of
Oxford, told me story once re-
regarding a claim to title.
At Gland court" middle-aged
Maori appeared, and made a long
speech, giving the reason why a
title to a certain piece. of land should
be given to him.
An old, grizzly Maori had listened
without saying word.
At last, as the younger man was
about finishing his speech, he in
quired:
"Where are my ancestors buried,
but in this land where was born?'
When he had ended, the old man
eater slowly arose, and throwing off
everything but walst-cloth, he
bounded across the room and adj
dressed the Court, saying:
~ have listened with disgust and
contempt to the words of this tuturn
(nobody). What claim can he have
to this land? l conquered long ago
the people and lived on that land,
when he was a small child; that the
mistake then made was tha permit
ting him TO livel And lie asks I:
'Where are his ancestors buried y
l tell him and show him. Here !!
here l"-patting his stomach with
his left hand. ellis ancestors are
here. l ate them, and that is my
title 10 the land"
No better or stronger title to ma
tive land can be brought before the
native land courts than the above
described. "ritle by Digestion. "
If the Massachusetts Title Insur-
ance Company would open a branch
office in the land of the Maoris, il
might find some very interesting
work in looking up land titles

OPER ATTN G
PILLS.,
For Constipation,
Sluggish Liver, etc.

Unlike many kinds of cathartic
- medicines, do not make you
feel worse before you feel better.
Their operation is gentle, but thor
ough, and unattended with disagree
able effects, such as nausea, gripping
pains, &c.
Seigel's Operating Pills
are the best family physic that has
ever been discovered. They cleanse
the bowels from all irritating sub
stances, and leave them in healthy
condition.
The best remedy extant for the
bane of our liyes-constipation and
sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all
poisonous matter from the bowels.
They operate briskly, yet mildly,
without any pain.
If you take severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains
in the head, back and limbs, one or
two doses of Seigel's Operat-
ing Pills will break up the cold
and prevent fever.
A coated tongue, with brackish
taste, caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of SeigelS
Operating Pills will cleanse the
stomach, remove the bad taste, and
restore the appetite, and with it
bring good health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially
decayed food, causes sickness, maui
sea and diarrhea. If the bowels are
cIeansed from this impurity with a
dose of SeigePs Operating
Pills, these disagreeable effects
will vanish, and good health result.
Seigel's Operating Pills
prevent ill-effects from excess in
eating or drinking. A good dose at
bedtime renders person fit for bust
ness in the morning.
These pills, being Sugar-coated,
are pleasant to take. The disagree
able taste common to most pills is
obviated.

needs earliest attention, is the fuflment OF
it's plain everyday duties. He holds that what

be desirable eventually can only be permanent
ly secured by training in the conscientious dis
charge of obligations. Which OF these TWO

more patriotic
The world belongs to those who can controi

that. They may subscribe to any programme.
they may find any opportunities, but they viii

souls. 1t has sown the politics Of this free
country with corruption. 1t has weghtec

not exceed $780, but the actual incomes range
between S3, 600 and $4,000. and in rich par
ishcs between $4,000 and $4,000. The
argument of these far-sighted Catholics Is
that while disendowment would cut of gross
revenue Of over 100000, the withdrawal
of State aid would ultimately swell the receipts
of the Church and largely promote religious
zeal and activity. This conclusion seems log
ica so far as it relates to the larger and more
prosperous bencfces. but in the villages tho
poor priests would be likely to suffer seriously.
That the Church would become more powerful.
and that religious revival would be promoted
by disestablishment Is probable Much would
depend upon the method adopted by the French
legislators. II they cut off the salaries, but
make over all the church property to the &C.
clesiastical authorities, without subjecung 1t
to rent or taxation. disendowment Will un-
doubtedly prove positive gain to the cause
of religion. If they attempt to levy taxes and
to .embarrass the ecclesiastical authorities In
various ways, they may impose heavy burdens
that will temporarily cripple the Church. This
policy would be fraught with danger to exist
ing institutions since it would arouse i'm
placable resentment.
